From Mr. Emerson, formerly a Teacher in Boston.
I have examined the Boston School Atlas, and I assure you, I am highly pleased with it. It appears to me to contain exactly what it should, to render it an easy and adequate introduction to the study of Geography.
Yours, respectfully,
F. EMERSON.
From Rev. Benj. F. Farnsworth, Principal of the New Hampton Literary and Theological Seminary.
I have long lamented the deficiency of school-books in the elementary parts of education. A good introduction to the study of Geography has been much needed. The Boston School Atlas, recently published by you, appears well; and I think it should be preferred to most other works of the same class. I know of none that could be used with equal advantage in its place. I hope you may succeed in making School Committees and Teachers acquainted with this Introduction to an interesting and important study of our primary schools; as I doubt not that, in this case, it may obtain a very desirable patronage.
Yours, respectfully,
BENJ. F. FARNSWORTH.
From the United States Literary Advertiser, Boston.
This is one of the most beautiful elementary works of the kind, which has yet come within the range of our observation. The Maps are elegantly executed, and finely colored—and the whole work is got up in a style that cannot fail to insure its general introduction into our schools, as a most valuable standard book.
From the Principal of one of the High Schools in Portland.
I have examined the Boston School Atlas, Elements of Geography, &c., and think it admirably adapted to beginners in the study of the several subjects treated on. It is what is wanted in all books for learners,—simple, philosophical, and practical. I hope it will be used extensively.
